Chapter Seventy-Nine: Family Affairs
Qingxu and Lan Yutong talked a little, said goodbye and left, and were dragged by Zhuo Yunqing towards the courtyard where the Zhuo family lived.
At this time, the Zhuo family belongs to the protected target, and the scope of residence is not large, and those children of the Zhuo family who are pampered on weekdays often have two or three people in a room, so that even the courtyard that covers a small area is full.
In this case, Qingxu stepped into the courtyard of the Zhuo family, and was noticed by the Zhuo family for the first time.
"It's him...... Zhuo Qingxu, he actually has the face to come back!?"
"Shhh ”
"Why don't you let me say that if it weren't for him, why would our Zhuo family end up like this, why do we need to be afraid all day long!?"
"Shut up! Zhuo Qingxu has broken through to the awakening realm now, do you think it's still the same as before!?Moreover, Miss Nalan doesn't have much feeling for the rest of our Zhuo family in her mind, even if you want to protect it, only Zhuo Xuri and their veins will be saved, once you anger Zhuo Qingxu, even if he kills us, Miss Nalan will never say too much!"
"Shhh...... This...... Is the news of his breakthrough to the Awakening Realm actually true?"
"How can there be a fake, take a walk, don't be an eyesore here. ”
As Qingxu passed through the courtyard along the way, their strong hearing made them all hear the discussions of the Zhuo family in the courtyard clearly.
However, just as Nalan Fei only cared about the life and death of Zhuo Xuri's lineage, Qingxu didn't care much about the rest of the Zhuo family.
Under the leadership of Zhuo Yunqing, he went straight to the patriarch, that is, his father Zhuo Xuri's single courtyard.
However, just as the two stepped into Zhuo Xuri's courtyard, four people walked out of the courtyard from the corner in front of them.
These four people, two old and two young, the older two of them are Zhuo Fengxiao and Zhuo Xingyun, the elders of the Zhuo family, and the younger two are Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Xiangdong, who had a fierce conflict with Qingxu before, and almost caused Qingxu to be expelled from the ancestral home of the Zhuo family.
Seeing Qingxu and Yunqing brothers and sisters, Zhuo Fengxiao, Zhuo Xingyun, Zhuo Fengyun, and Zhuo Xiangdong were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became embarrassed at the same time.
"Cloud ...... Yun Qing...... Ah, and the green ruins......"
Zhuo Fengxiao and Zhuo Xingyun showed a difficult smile on their faces and greeted each other: "You guys...... Are you looking for the patriarch......
Qingxu didn't pay attention to the two, but set his eyes on Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Xiangdong.
Although these two people didn't know that Qingxu had now reached the second realm of immortality, he had already known about his awakening bloodline, and even knew that he had killed the president of the Demon Hunter Guild, many masters in the Third Prince's Mansion and even Longquan Gongzi, and now they were swept by Qingxu's gaze, and the two thought that Qingxu wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and they were suddenly frightened, and immediately knelt down as soon as their legs were weak: "Qingxu Gongzi...... We...... We were wrong, and we begged the young man of Qingxu to raise his noble hand...... Spare us a ......."
"Cousin Qingxu...... Although we were offended a lot at the beginning, we ...... It was just our young play, and I ask Cousin Qingxu to let us go for the sake of our family......"
Qingxu glanced at Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Xiangdong, and then looked at Zhuo Fengxiao and Zhuo Xingyun with fear and awe on their faces, and said to Zhuo Yunqing: "The two of them, are they still the elders of the Zhuo family?"
"This ......"
Zhuo Yunqing didn't know what Qingxu meant by asking.
"No wonder the Zhuo family has been difficult to become a climate for so many years, so that the perpetrators of the son can steal a high position in the clan, what centripetal force does the whole family have at all, I have been expelled from the Zhuo family, otherwise, the Zhuo family will decline sooner or later even if it is supported by Aunt Nalan. ”
Qingxu's words suddenly made the faces of Zhuo Fengxiao and Zhuo Xingyun change greatly.
And at this moment, two more patriarchs, Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Feilong, walked out of it, and after hearing Qingxu's words, Zhuo Shao hurriedly said: "Qingxu, don't be joking, although it is rumored that you were expelled from our Zhuo family, but this is just a joke, it can't be true, the fact that you are a member of our Zhuo family, no one is qualified to question it, if you don't believe it, you can go and see, at present, your name is still clearly written in our Zhuo family tree." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhuo Feilong, who came with him, hurriedly echoed: "What you said is reasonable, your father is the patriarch of our Zhuo family, you are the only son of the patriarch, not only our Zhuo family, but also the heir of our Zhuo family patriarch in the future, and will lead our Zhuo family to prosperity, who has the courage to expel you, wouldn't it be to split our Zhuo family?"
He was still quite nervous as he spoke.
As early as when Qingxu achieved the Awakening Realm, the entire Zhuo family held several rounds of meetings for him.
Although the Zhuo family had some power in Hundred Desolate City before, it was only a second-rate family in Hundred Desolate City, and it could not be compared with the Jin family, the Feng family, and the Fang family.
However, Nalan Fei is only the adopted daughter of the old master of the Zhuo family after all, how can he be compared with Qingxu from far and near, now that Zhuo Qingxu, who is the son of the patriarch, has stepped into the realm of immortality, the hope of their Zhuo family to soar is close at hand, and their Zhuo family has to seize this opportunity no matter what, this is the unanimous decision of the entire Zhuo family after discussion in the council.
Thinking of the seriousness of Qingxu to the entire Zhuo family, Zhuo Feilong didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Shao, I think what Qingxu said just now makes sense, our Zhuo family should indeed clean up the atmosphere well, those who are incapable but have a vegetarian diet should be cleared out of the inner circle of our Zhuo family, without further ado, we will hold a meeting." ”
"The Flying Dragon Patriarch is good, the Zhuo family is no longer the small family before, and it really needs to be cleaned up. ”
Zhuo Shao understood what Zhuo Feilong meant, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he turned to Qingxu and said: "Qingxu, you are the son of the head of the Zhuo family, the future heir of the patriarch, and the entire Zhuo family will have to be handed over to you to take the helm in the future. ”
Qingxu didn't want to have too much to do with the Zhuo family, but seeing Zhuo Yunqing's somewhat surprised gaze, and considering that his body came from Zhuo Qingxu, the son of Zhuo Xuri, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Let Yunqing listen, her current cultivation has reached the realm of blood exchange, and she can be regarded as the first person in our Zhuo family, and she has this qualification, you can just tell me the final result of the meeting." ”
Zhuo Shaoze and Zhuo Feilong knew that things had to come step by step, so they nodded immediately: "Okay, just like you said Qingxu, we will go and inform the other elders." ”
After speaking, the two glanced at Zhuo Xingyun and Zhuo Fengxiao, who were pale: "I won't give you any notice, don't miss the show when the time comes." ”
Zhuo Fengxiao and Zhuo Xingyun glanced at each other, and their faces were gloomy.
They understood that after the meeting, the days when they were running amok as the patriarch of the Zhuo family would be gone.
Thinking that all this could be said to be caused by Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Xiangdong, the two of them were angry, grabbed the two and scolded them fiercely: "As a child of a clan, I don't want to unite with each other, but oppress the clansmen, I ...... I'll kill you both......"
For a while, Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Xiangdong screamed non-stop.
Zhuo Shaoze and Zhuo Feilong turned a blind eye to this scene and left directly.
Qingxu also ignored the four of them and entered the courtyard with Zhuo Yunqing.
With the arrival of Nalan Fei, Zhuo Xuri's life as a patriarch was obviously a lot easier, even if the enemy was current, the location where he lived was still heavily guarded, and an old man in the True Qi Realm was ordered to protect Zhuo Xuri's safety.
Seeing the arrival of Qingxu, the old man looked at him a few times with a hint of surprise.
"This ...... Isn't it rumored by the outside world that the Qingxu Boy has only awakened to the realm of cultivation? Why ......?"
"It was news from nearly a year ago, and I naturally have to grow in the past year. ”
Qingxu nodded at the old man and entered the hall.
Zhuo Xuri seemed to hear Qingxu's voice, and was walking out of the hall, when he saw Qingxu and Zhuo Yunqing, there was obviously a trace of excitement in his eyes, and his eyes kept staring at him, and after a while, he sighed: "Qingxu, you have suffered." ”
Qingxu looked at Zhuo Xuri, he naturally understood that Zhuo Qingxu's father loved him very much, his only son, otherwise he would not have suffered such a catastrophe under him, and still resisted the pressure of the entire family and secretly told him to hurry up and go to the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Sect to find Nalan Fei for refuge, but it was just ...... He is obviously a little weak in terms of character, or he is forward-looking and narrow-minded, so that the dignified patriarch is almost hollowed out, and many things cannot be decided.
"Father, my brother is back, and he has become a great master of the Immortal Realm, with him, you will definitely not have to work so hard in the future. ”
Zhuo Yunqing said happily on the side.
Qingxu nodded and looked at Zhuo Xuri.
In fact, Zhuo Xuri can't be the patriarch well, it's no wonder that he can't do it, his vein was originally quite weak, before he got the elixir given by Nalan Fei, the strongest one was only in the marrow washing realm, and naturally it couldn't be compared with the other veins that had dirty martial artists in charge, if it weren't for the rest of the Zhuo family in order to curry favor with Nalan Fei, the patriarch position would not have been his turn.
Background restrictions, coupled with various reasons, made him not have the courage that half of the patriarch should have, and he was even almost forced by those patriarchs to expel his only son from the family.
Shaking his head, Qingxu also felt that Zhuo Qingxu's father was strange and pitiful, and it was conceivable that he must have been extremely aggrieved when he made this decision under the persecution of many elders at that time.
At that moment, he didn't pursue it anymore, and said directly: "During this time, when I went out, I understood a truth, in this world, after all, the strong are respected, in the case of the Zhuo family, if you want to manage the Zhuo family well, first of all, you have to have the power to convince everyone, before, your strength came from Nalan Fei, and she was far away in the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Sect, and it took more than a month for the news to go back and forth, plus you didn't want to bother her with a little thing, which made the elders of the Zhuo family see your weakness and deceive, and you have to make inches, but now, what ......?"
Zhuo Xuri was secretly guilty of Qingxu's straightforward words, and when he heard him say now, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Qingxu, are you willing to come to help me? No, why don't I pass it on to you and let you be the head of the Zhuo family directly?" I believe that others will not object. ”
"Zhuo family patriarch?"
Qingxu shook his head: "No, in fact, if you want to have absolute authority in the Zhuo family, it's very simple...... All you need ......"
He stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and shook it vigorously: "There is strength! There is the strength to suppress all the people in the other veins! At that time, the Zhuo family will be the first to follow the orders of your patriarch!"
